Paul Scudder is a performer and composer who uses music, specifically the voice, to address personal issues regarding identity, mental health and social structures. His compositions focus on the choreographed and inherent movement of performing music, the harmony and tension of vocalization and motility. This interplay is important to him both as a tool for learning and creating but also for acknowledging the individuality and humanity of each performer. Paul Scudder performed with the Walkabout Theater ensemble from 2012-2016 and works as a freelance videographer and composer. He holds a degree in Theater from the University of California, San Diego.
